ven on the battle-field, when the parties were there released, and those given by the parties who were delivered at the points designated in the cartel.
I have been thus particular in these explanations, that the nomenclature herein used may be fully understood.
Aiken's Landing, on James river, a place about thirty miles distant by water from Richmond, and Vicksburg, were the first places selected for the delivery of the prisoners of both belligerents.
At the former place I met General Lorenzo Thomas, the first Federal agent of exchange, in August, 1862.
Not appreciating the magnitude of the work before us, we began to exchange officers by name, one for another.
That method was, however, very soon abandoned for the more expeditious one of exchange by grade, or by equivalent in mass.
Our first duty was to compute the paroles held by each side, and to declare exchanges so far as equivalents could be furnished.

On the left of the Cemetery, near Zeigler's Grove, were Hancock's batteries, under Woodruff, Brown, Cushing, Arnold, and Rorty, commanded by Captain Hazzard.

oldier with a little silver medal, the only honor of the kind known to have been bestowed by the Conspirators upon their servants during the war.
This medal, the appearance of which is given in the above engraving, the exact size of the original, was made of a thin plate of silver, with the initials of Davis Guards and a Maltese cross rudely engraved on one side, and the place and date of the achievement on the other.
The original, from which the drawing was made, is in the possession of Thomas L Thornell, of New York City, to whom it was presented by an officer who received it from one of the Guards.
The writer is indebted for its use to the courtesy of his friend, Henry T. Drowne, of New York.
